Verdict
As part of the design to keep it cool, it has a Keyboard and trackpad to the front of the panel. This means no room for palm rest. Forget typing on your lap. The right-side touchpad is too small compared to other laptops and can take a while to get used to due its positioning. You do get rubber rest that you can use for palm rest but it gets grimy in minutes, and can’t be used when on your lap. Touchpad tracks perfectly and handles multi-gestures well despite being small in area. This touchpad can function as a digital number pad with the press of a single button. Has a poor battery life but otherwise is a great gaming laptop.
